Things to note:
-That many planes weren't enough to clear the base for capture.  Bad tactics on their part..  I got 10 kills, we were maybe 6-8, there might've been 30-50 kills altogether (I didn't pay attention).
-It's not that those planes weren't organised, because neither were the WWs, and there weren't that many WWs.
+The WW isn't that lethal.  It's as prone to only damaging planes with bad aim and/or bad luck.  A P38 flies off with 3x the amount of hits as some of the other planes.  The A20 and some of the other planes also take a whole lot of hits before dying.
+What a good supply of ammo for GVs can do for this sort of op.  Teamwork pays off big time.. You don't have to cautiously keep your ammo for sure shots, you can stay on the trigger as long as you know you're near a hit = more kills and attackers start thinking twice.
-FORTRESS illustrates what's wrong with the dive bombing level bombers.

What would be the downside to giving the Wobble a low perk value like 5 points? It was after all a rare late war GV and in this game is clearly the equivalent of a child-friendly turbo laser. I like it, and I'm exceptionally glad it's here, but I can't understand, for instance, why the TA152 would be a perk ride and the Wobble not be one.

it cant kill things 1.5k + 

Even 1.0k is a lucky shot.  Now why perk something that can be bombed quite easily without even getting into gun range.  Vulchers = Dead = GOOD

Shame they restricted the osty

It can i believe, just need some practice. Dont know what is maximal range for 20mm guns, but 12mm reach 1.5 for sure.

[Gianlupo]

Oh, I will kill more easily even.. because I have to switch back to bombs.

Not necessarily, you may just have to begin hunting with a wingman or more: as I said, it will add a whole new dimension to GV hunting, a really funny one, IMHO.

Flying with wingmen is no option for me. So I have to use bombs

When theres a large raid on a VH base now and theres alot of WW out it almost looks like Baghdad did during those first few nights of the war with all those tracer rounds going up into the air.

[whiteman]

after upping a WW at a capped field I want the guns to sound like the laser cannons in Star Wars. I didn't look at moots film since I'm at work but I was able to roll around a field Nits were attacking and knock down 10 and collect 4 more assists. Longest shot was 1.5 and an A20 that knows how to bomb out side that range seems to be the way to kill them.

                              I think the Whirble will cut into the M-16s game time and not so much the Osti. A lot of guys are comfortable with the Ostie, have spent a lot of time in them, and have gotten real good with them. The Ostie is a pretty much lights out wheeled ack and can kill good at distance. The M-16s will still be used when the speed of the vehicle is needed. But for general base defense? I think the M-16 will be used far less now. One thing about the Whirble is it has a very realistic recoil shake that takes a little getting used to.

That long range shooting doesn't work in Ostwind anymore. You now can't give enough lead without completely losing sight of your target.

I wouldn't say that
